The People
Traits
The people of Suroa have a reputation for being dubious, cunning, and considerably duplicitous in nature, though the majority of these reputations are false. What can be said of the Suroan people however, is they serve a complex, analytical take on things Political, and consider actions much like a game of chess with a great deal of intrigue and a pursuing ferocity.
Dress
The Suroan people lean toward a style of functionality over fashion, preferring often plain, cloth material clothes in a darker hue with Deep Bottle Green being a prominent favorite. Keeping with a practical mind, often worn are long, mid-hip length tunics, often cut in a V neck in favor of air circulation while at work and a pair of loose-fit cloth trousers which tend to hang on the wearers hips and are upheld by a simple braided chord of contrasting color.
Veils are a typical sight of both Males, and Females, though those of a 'higher' stature often shed them in favor of revealing their face to the world, as if it was a graduation from common, to commanding, though some often see this as 'uncustomary' it is often only done by those with enough support - or fear - as to not be called out on it.
